EU willing to offer Keir Starmer new deal on Brexit, Irish PM says
SUMMARY
The European Union is open to negotiating a new post-Brexit deal with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, according to Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris. He expressed willingness to work closely with the UK, with Ireland as an ally in negotiations. Starmer, during a visit to Edinburgh, emphasized plans to enhance trading, research, and security ties with the EU, aiming for a better deal than Boris Johnson's. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds and Foreign Secretary David Lammy support exploring improved trade relations, though they rule out reinstating free movement. Starmer has already initiated discussions, inviting Harris to Downing Street on July 17th.
